Five hostages have been killed by terrorists holed up inside Nariman House, a Jewish centre, in Colaba (Mumbai) even as National Security Guard commandos have secured major parts of the building.

“We had taken over the second floor of the house when grenade was launched from above. Three hostages were killed by terrorists before they moved upstairs. NSG commandos moved upstairs to kill two terrorists on the fourth floor. Terrorists killed two hostages in this floor,” NSG Director General Jyoti Krishan Dutt said.

“Nariman House charge will be given to CRPF and Mumabi Police after the operation is over,” Dutt said. “We are on the last floor and any time we will finish this operation,” he said. The fate of terrorists is still unclear. The Jewish centre had earlier been badly damaged after a strong explosion took place at the third floor of the building
